Chapter 2 BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the
motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,
saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows
the user to modify basic system configuration settings or to activate certain system features.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to
keep the configuration values in the CMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned on.
To upgrade the BIOS, use either the GIGABYTE Q-Flash or @BIOS utility.
•• Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating system.
•• @BIOS is a Windows-based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the Internet
and updates the BIOS.
•• Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS,
it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing
may result in system malfunction.
•• It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system instability or other
unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, try to
clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values. (Refer to the "Load Optimized Defaults" section in
this chapter or introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
2-1 Startup Screen

The following startup Logo screen will appear when the computer boots.
Function Keys
On the main menu of the BIOS Setup program, press arrow keys to move among the items and press <Enter>
to accept or enter a sub-menu. Or you can use your mouse to select the item you want.
•• When the system is not stable as usual, select the Load Optimized Defaults item to set your system to its defaults.
•• The BIOS Setup menus described in this chapter are for reference only and may differ by BIOS version.

2-2 M.I.T.
Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is dependent on your overall
system configurations. Incorrectly doing overclock/overvoltage may result in damage to CPU, chipset, or memory
and reduce the useful life of these components. This page is for advanced users only and we recommend you not to
alter the default settings to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. (Inadequately altering the settings
may result in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.)

5. After completing, you'll be brought back to the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology screen. Under RAID
Volumes you can see the new RAID volume. To see more detailed information, press <Enter> on the volume
to check for information on RAID level, stripe block size, array name, and array capacity, etc.
Install the RAID driver and operating system

With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system.
As some operating systems already include RAID driver, you do not need to install separate RAID driver during
the Windows installation process. After the operating system is installed, we recommend that you install all
required drivers from the motherboard driver disc using "Xpress Install" to ensure system performance and
compatibility. If the operating system to be installed requires that you provide additional RAID driver during the
OS installation process, please refer to the steps below:
1. Copy the IRST folder under \Boot in the driver disc to your USB thumb drive.
2. Boot from the Windows setup disc and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting
you to load the driver appears, select Browse.
3. Then browse to the USB flash drive and select the location of the driver. The location of the driver is as
follows: \IRST\f6flpy-x64
4. When a screen as shown, select Intel(R) Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium Controller and click Next to
load the driver and continue the OS installation.
3-2 Installing Intel® Optane™ Memory and Storage Management

Steps:
After entering the operating system, make sure your Internet connection works properly. Insert the motherboard
driver disc into your optical drive. On the Xpress Install screen, select Intel® Rapid Storage Technology to
install and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. When completed, restart the system.
A. Enabling an Intel® Optane™ Memory

A-1. System Requirements
1. Intel® Optane™ memory
2. The Optane™ memory must have at least 16 GB capacity, and it must have equal or smaller capacity than
the hard drive/SSD to be accelerated.
3. The Optane™ memory cannot be used to accelerate an existing RAID array; the accelerated hard drive/SSD
cannot be included in a RAID array.
4. The hard drive/SSD to be accelerated must be a SATA hard drive or M.2 SATA SSD.
5. The hard drive/SSD to be accelerated can be a system drive or data drive. The system drive must be GPT
formatted and have Windows 10 64-bit (or later version) installed on it. The data drive must also be GPT
formatted.
6. The motherboard driver disc
7. The SATA controller must set in Intel RST Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration mode.
Please visit GIGABYTE's website for details on configuring a RAID array.
- 38 -
A-2. Installation Guidelines
1. Go to Peripherals\SATA And RST Configuration and make sure RST Control PCIe Storage Devices is set
to Manual. Then depending on which M.2 connector you install the Optane™ memory in, set the corresponding
PCIe Storage Dev on Port XX item to RST Controlled.
2. After re-entering the operating system, launch the Intel® Optane™ Memory and Storage Management
application from the Start menu. If you install more than one Optane™ memory, please select which one
you are going to use. Then select which drive to be accelerated. Click Enable Intel® Optane™ Memory. All
data on the Optane™ memory will be erased. Make sure you back up the data before continuing. Follow the

sure the Intel® Optane™ Memory has been enabled.
4. If you want to accelerate the system drive, you can select specific folders, files, or applications to accelerate
using the Intel® Optane™ Memory Pinning function. (The Optane™ memory used must have at least 32
GB capacity.)
•• An Optane™ memory cannot be used to accelerate an M.2 PCIe SSD.
•• If more than one Optane™ memory is installed, you can select only one of them to accelerate
your SATA-based boot drive. The other(s) can only be used as data drive(s).
•• Do not abruptly remove the Optane™ memory. Doing so will cause the operating system to stop
functioning correctly.
•• If you want to change/remove the Optane™ memory, you must disable it using the Intel® Optane™
Memory and Storage Management application first.
•• After enabling the Optane™ memory, the related BIOS settings will remain even after a BIOS
update.
B. Rebuilding an Array
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies only
to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10 arrays. The procedures below assume a new drive
is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. (Note: The new drive must have equal or greater
capacity than the old one.)
Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer. While in the
operating system, launch the Intel® Optane™ Memory and Storage Management utility from the Start menu.
1. Go to the Manage menu and click Rebuild to another disk in Manage Volume.
2. Select a new drive to rebuild the RAID and click Rebuild.
3. The Status item on the right of the screen displays the rebuild progress. After the RAID 1 volume rebuilding,
the Status will display as Normal.
